THE GLORIOUS GIFT

But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.
1 John 3:5

In this verse are the great truths of the person and work of Jesus Christ. He is eternal. He appeared at a point in time but he has existed from eternity past (see John 1:1). He is sinless. He entered fully into the frailty of our humanity, faced all our temptation, but never committed sin. Therefore He is uniquely (the only one) qualified to save sinners. He is Savior. He came to "take away our sins" which He did by "bearing them in His body on the cross" (see 1 Peter 2:24). Eternal Son of God! Sinless man! Savior of sinners! What a glorious gift!

PRAYER POINT: Father, I thank you for the glorious gift of Jesus and pray that I may fully live the salvation life You have given me through Him.

I'm praying for you.
